2.3.3 flies! Really fast and better than froyo!

Fully charged my phone last night and woke up to 35 percent battery! CHecked the battery statistics and it says android system used 69percent of it. Trying Doc Rambons custom rom to see if there are any improvements
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Heritz:
3 files install with bootloader, no repartition. Rooted.

Working good so far, very smooth and battery life is good as well. Been using 3G, wifi, NFS Shift, Angry Birds, Gun Bros, some SMS, Tweet Deck, a couple of calls in the last 24 hours and the phone is still on 48%.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dhiru1602:
Good rom. Really love it.

Has anyone noticed problems with the volume keys when the screen is turned off and media player is on?

Also it seems like the touchscreen is having some issues. I often miss some letters while texting. It didn't happen in Froyo but used to happen in cm7 too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kwukduck:
OK, i had some trouble first but that was because i didnt flash the bootloader, i fixed that now.

Battery is horrible, when i charge it it tells me 100%, unplug charger. If i do so, within a minute it drops to about 70%, then i replug charger, charges for a while, only then it's really full.

Also noticed that when it's full it drains about 25% over night (8hr) instead of the 10% i was used to with 2.2.1. (same apps, config, wallpaper etc)

I'm having trouble making text selections downward, upwards goes fine.

Other then these issues all is working smooth

Rom is ok but I have one bug. When I collect phone i hear silence 1-2 seconds. Strange beacause on JPY everything is ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivan1975:
I installed 2.3.3 using odin, 512 pit, repartition and boot loaders.

I am impressed by the battery life. Since upgrading to 2.2.1 the battery was not lasting a normal day of use. Now no problems.

Very good

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jordicm:
Same wifi-always-on bug than in Froyo. Additionally, the Maps app also drains the battery. After a whole day the battery stats shows Maps as the most power consumption app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] angry_machine:
1st day flash, without hard reset before flash lead me to no auto rotation.

2nd day flash with hard reset and with pit and all bootloader, its 100% fine.

rooted with chainfire. and the rom is tons faster, better battery for sure.now it feels like a 600 usd phone!

I flashed it with pit 512 and bootloaders, had a few battery drain problems but got them solved :D. What can I say is that it's great. No problems with nothing. Gps is very good - 2 sec for lock and 5m accuracy(never seen that)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emkas:
I used 3 files with no re-partition. I gave it a full charge last night and this morning battery shows 96%. So far it’s very smooth and snappy. I did notice few things as some of you such as: Under battery usage I noticed that Maps drains more juice than it should have; Wi-Fi reception is not as good as JPY but acceptable; RAM usage is bit higher; and last but not least when waking up the phone home screen flashes for a split second before allowing me swipe for unlock. Considering it’s a beta version I’m very happy with it.

Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000

Doc's 2.3.3 JVK (first installed stock 2.3.3 with bootloaders)

Supercurios hacked kernel ext4 enabled

JIT enabled

Gingerbread theme (incl. screen shutdown animation)

I have been using the setup for few days. Everything is by far super smooth (except the boot animation). I love the drop down menu. It does not lag anymore like Froyo.

Battery life is better than Froyo. Wifi reception might be a little worse with JVK modem than it was with JQ1 but general 2G/3G reception is good. GPS works very well and is accurate. There is a bug in the web browser. The scrolling stops after a while when you try to scroll the page fast.

The screen shutdown animation is so cool!

For all the Quadrant droolers here is something for you: 2458 points.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Andrew Phillips:
I did everything bar repartition.

PDA + PHONE + CSC + 502 pit and Bootloader update

Then factory reset.

Haven't re-enabled lagfix yet with hacked version but it feels faster and smoother than my 2.2.1 with lagfix. Browsing with Flash 10.2 is miles ahead of 2.2.1 with 10.2.

Very happy.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingofthebraves:
Where did you get this? Does it light up automatically now based on the sensor?

I experienced a 60 percent battery drain yesterday but since my second charge everythings been perfect! Normal if not better battery consumption. The only thing I did was switch hspa off but I don't think it would make that big of a difference.

How do I get CWM for JVK? Do I just flash speedmod k13d 500hz?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kelvs:
not liking it so far. not sure if it's just me or what.

1. why is the widget menu not grouped together ? like all desktop visualizer icons are already shown.

2. while phone is asleep, pressing the home button takes a split second before lighting up and showing the lockscreen.

3. after/during calls, when removed from my ear, it doesn't light up.

4. it's actually a bit slower than previous froyo version. i noticed this when i remove widgets from my homescreen by dragging them down to the bin. it's not as 'instant' as before.

When i reinstalled the gun bros game my left stick control was positioned up when its was down in previous rom. did they change resolution? or bug in the game

Doesn't work :( I tried it in Flight mode and it's still happens. It must be caused by the OS rather than a feature.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
Hmmm.

I had really bad audio latency using JPY. Turning the Wi-Fi off really cleared the issue for me there.

2.3.3 has been ok for me audio wise (Still miss voodoo sound though). Are you using .mp3 format or anything else like .wma?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
Ok so here are my observations of jvk so far:

-silky smooth notification bar and all other ui menu scrolling in fact. Animations are silky almost ios4 quality.

- screen seems clearer and colours more vivid. contrast improved

-swype is ten times faster and more accurate

-gps locks quicker but takes a bit to improve accuracy soon after.

-phone seems to not lag when mem use is high big improvement, just massive really... In fact using aggressive min free settings (found in damians gb bets kernel seem to be detrimental... Could someone verify this by switching between voodoo hack and damians kernel (sticking with rfs)

-ext 4 seems unnecessary but this may change once I have more apps restored via titanium backup.

-overall best rom I've ever used.

Turn WiFi, bluetooth, GPS and 3G data off, try again.

I'm not getting anything close to that drainage with the phone in sleep mode.

If you have installed Twitter, Facebook, an RSS reader, etc, configure them to refresh every 8 hours, not every minute.

You probably have some app not letting the phone go into sleep mode.

I just tried this morning and I'm having max 1% each hour with the phone in standby (only 3G active, nothing streaming data).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] David Sebb:
Ok, I installed the Rom with repartition and using the .512pit, all went without problems.

The phone boots quite quick with this rom, and it also turns off quickly.

The performance is ok, could be a lot better, but its far better then the 2.3.2 release we got our hands on :)

No mayor bugs to report really, but i do wonder about one thing. The look of the rom is just stripped down right ? Cause except for the status bar and the button color there and the battery state color (oh yeah, that doesnt change from green ever no matter the lvl of the battery) i havent noticed ANY visual difference from the 2.2.1 roms. I sure hope the official rom will feature more of that. Cheers !

What doesn't work?

Everything is absolutely great - nothing doesn't work, no lags, no cuts, no hiccups, all of my apps are fine

How did you install it?

Odin with repartition & pit - with bootloaders

i came across a problem though... since i had ext4 and lagfix, i forgot to disable them and odin got stuck during repartition... unplugged my phone :s it displayed a lame icon telling me to connect it back to the pc. so, i did it again without repartition and it worked fine thank goodness!

Are there any problems so far?

None that i can see

General performances?

Fastest stock rom yet!

GPS?

No big difference here... maybe it's slightly better. Before GB i had to do some GPS tweaking to get it to feel like the GB performance i'm getting now

Battery life?

Just barely noticeably better. Nothing to write home about

Anything else.

Thank you so much everyone for the files uploaded, the instructions given, the troubleshooting and certainly all of the helpful comments and discussions

What doesnt work?

Loving it. Havent found anything that is failing to work yet. All apps and games working and the phone operates quickly and smoothly. Sat nav is fine. Wifi indicates a weaker signal but the test in my house is, does it work in the toilet? and it does...better than before, where is would sometimes fail to connect, it will show zero bars now but still connect rapidly, so I believe the wifi icon is showing a weaker signal but it is infact stronger. Zero issues.

How did you install it?

Flashed using odin. 3 stock files and 512 pit. Not repartitioned. All installed in 5 minutes and booted up fine.

Are there any problems so far?

Nope.

General performance?

Big step up from 2.2.1. Very fast.

GPS?

Test on the way home. Took a few minutes to connect on the move but once connected, didnt break for 45 minutes until I got home. Tried again when I went shopping, connected within 20 seconds whilst stood still. Excellent.

Battery?

I run my phone with the display on auto brightness. Background date and syncing off and other stuff like bt/gps/wifi when I need it.

Taken off charge at 6am. 15 mins internet using wifi before I left for work. On net using 3g(wifi turned off) on and off all day with a game or 2 and just generally playing with settings. until I left work at 6.15pm. GPS and navigation used for an hour and 5 mins of net on 3g. A dozen texts and a couple of 5 min calls over the day so reasonable use. Its now just gone 8pm so 14 hours use and I'm still on 44% battery which is miles better than before. I'd normally be looking for a charger by now.

Anything else?

As I'm an amateur at this stuff, I didnt back up my old firmware so I'm assuming I've lost the ability to update with Kies. Is this correct?

Thanks all :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Joshuax8:
What doesn't work? lockscreen stopt working today! it just turns off the screen. (could be because of a bug in old tv animation mod) :(

How did you install it? Odin, with bootloaders, with repartion (pit 512)

Are there any problems so far? no not really

General performances? fast! almost like a custom ROM :p did notice a bug were it really slowed down and i had to do a reboot to fix it. (around the same time the lockscreen stopt working)

GPS? Best ever!

Battery life? very very good! never been beter! i get 50% drain in a day with regular use.

Anything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedooo:
Obvious evolution, no major bugs (one small is that I need to use distinct-multitouch update from CWM in order to have rotation and tilt within Maps and Earth). Not so generous with RAM, but all in all no need to return to Froyo at all.

Still there are people using XP over 7, it's a matter of personal taste...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] david_1989:
What doesn't work?

Nothing.

How did you install it?

Installed using Odin with bootloaders.

Are there any problems so far?

The Wifi signal strength seems a bit a week. The new email count in the notification panel increments (ie instead of saying I have 1 new message it says how many I have recieved since I setup my email on this rom eg 27). The music player equalizers or effects have been adjusted and my configuration of Rock and Music clarity which sounded great before now gives a bit of distortion on a lot of tracks on certain beats. The call log insists on always defaulting to showing only missed calls.

General performances?

Very fast, the best rom I have used so far.

GPS?

Good

Battery life?

Pretty good in my opinion. Weirdly my battery went up during use yesterday, though I did wipe the battery stats after I flashed the rom last week!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedooo:
It's not "auto-rotate" fix (since I don't have any problem with that), distinct-multitouch is .zip update that enables two finger rotation and tilting with Google Maps and Earth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Scared27:
JVK is great. The only issues I have with it are the fact that the menu's are inconcistant regarding if the overshoot the end (like previous versions) or just stop at the top/bottom. The app draw stops but every other menu overshoots.

The main 'problem' (more of an annoyance) is when the screen is turned on, if you press the power or main button it will take 1-2 seconds to turn the screen on most of the time (and some times it just wont turn on the first time)

Didn't work for me I was stuck with 2 fingers together placed vertical and an arc gesture for rotation until I applied the n1 update., Now I have 2 fingers spread apart both rotating function which is far superior IMO.

Can anyone else confirm if a maps market update changes this for them?

JVK Stock ROM

So far its quite a stable ROM , Its smooth and everything But:

1. Im Still not happy with the TW Launcher (Still Laggy)

2.Wifi Range reduced trade off to Great Battery Life (1.5% Every 7 hours)

3.Sound on a Headphone still Sucks (Needs something like DSP on the CM7 or Miui Roms)

4.Overall feel is good, but not impressive

How did I Install:

1. Flash with Odin 1.7 (Stock JVK)

2.CF Root

3.Screen Power off animation from CWM

Battery life is an improvement however I think it is very overrated on here.

Agree with the sound issue. Sound quality is not good at all through earphones at all. Tgey need to fix this asap.

Also the app from Google called Korean IME keyboard is full of bugs and doesn't work well with Gingerbread 2.3 ENGLISG nor KOREAN MODE. The keyboard lags behind aLoT!!!!!

Regarding keyboard I'm slightly disappointed that Samsung didn't put the offical gingerbread Google keyboard on here. The default keyboard is still laggy.

I will make a backup, try the jpa update and report back on signal strength... also I could repackage the zip with corresponding jvk files so we can revert back
